What is the Best way to win Bullet games?

Is it speed? I played like, sacrificing, 30 times a game. But that Gave me a 800 rating. I started pre-moving, and that gave me a 900. I started to sac less, and am currently at 1002. I don't play mindless chess in Bullet, though I used to. I need you to help me play better Bullet. I see that masters only pre-move when below 10 seconds. Comments are appreciated.

1.d4 and 2.Bg5 is the best way to win bullet games.

Yes well, while attempting to move ultra-quickly in the opening, 2...d5 tends to be more common than 2...Qxg5.

I rarly play d4. But the Queens gambit is a very successful opening. If 1. d4 Nf6, I play 2. c4, and am going to create a center.

Two important things...

1.) Use openings you know so you can spend as much time playing automatically with out thinking.  If you can rattle off the moves in the Scotch game quickly, for example, you will let your opponent waste time thinking their best move when you already know what their best move is supposed to be and you are already set to reply to it.  And if they don't play the best move in the line you know how to swiftly punish it and gain an advantage.  Most bullet games are won by time anyway, so the more you can make safe moves without thinking because you know the opening, the more time your opponent will waste thinking bringing you closer to victory.

2.)  Pre-move, or hover the your peice over the square and drop it once they make a move.  Often in the opening (or as part of an exchange) you know what move you will make anyway regardless of what they do.  This saves you time, intimidats your opponent, and makes them use up their time.

So those things are all about time management.  As far as tactics go, don't be afraid too sacrifice peices if you know it's gonna blow up the board with tactical possibilites.  For example, a bishop sac to flush out the enemy king can be grand if you can start checking away at the king, chasing it around the board forcing your opponent to think carefully about tactics you might use, which, again, makes them use up time.

Those are some ideas.  Hope that helps!

Just use the mentality that "I have 60 seconds to not get checkmated and at least keep 1 piece besides my king on the board"

Igor Smirnov said, in Blitz, Any Sacrifice is okay. Your opponent will either be shocked, taking 2 - 3 Seconds to react, or, play on without noticing, as if nothing happened, then you can start a attack from scratch. Speaking of attacking, attacking is better than defending. If you attack, you don't need to worry about over looking things. If defending, you will have to make sure the piece you are going to use to defend, is not Currently defending things, and if it is, see if any other piece is defending it. If no to all of that, you have to find another move. All off that is going on in the brain. So if attacking, if one piece is attacking somthing, you can leave it, so you can attack something else. So, even if Igor Smirinov said that was the key to winning BLITZ, Why not Bullet? Or, that 10 Second match with 1 second increment on ChessCube. So how come I am only at 1002?

In bullet, garbage often prevails.

Help me. I went from 1002, to 1004. Yes!
